Hello,
The lesson says that prendre and its derivatives take avoir as an auxiliary verb, including se méprendre. My understanding from previous lessons is that reflexive verbs takes être as the auxiliary. Can you please clarify? Thanks!

Is it right to say both
Je part de la maison
Je sors de la maison
How can I use ni...ni to make this sentence negative: 'L'eleve a compris et a appris'?
Does it become 'l'eleve n'a ni compris ni appris'?
Thanks for any help
Follow up of a question from Sally ~ 1 year ago.
In the context of the 'story' the mermaid is resting on the beach at sunset and 'also likes to collect seashells'. For me, the first interpretation that comes to mind from this is 'I gather shells' not 'I am a collector of shells'. Currently ramasser is being 'corrected' to collectionner - « ramasser des coquillages » is not given as an option.
The discussion below, Larousse definitions, and the use of "collectionner les", all indicate that 'collectionner' is more specific to 'being done by a collector' than just gathering. I don't think 'collectionner' is the best choice here as, without other context, the majority of beach walkers 'collecting' shells are not 'collectors' of seashells. Regardless of that, ramasser is definitely an acceptable interpretation in this context. And in that case 'ramasser des coquillages'. Can it be added?
The lesson states that « que » always follows « Je trouve » yet « Je trouve que Halloween est... » is given as a right answer.
Bonjour Madame,
In this quiz , there is a sentence as "surtout quand elle détache ses longs cheveux roux."
Here, I am puzzled as to why possessive adjective is used with a body part but there is a lesson which contradicts by advising to use definite articles. Is this an exception ?
Secondly, why is 'roux' used for red ? Why not "rouges" ?
Bonne journée !
Hello, I hope you are well.
I'm just wondering when Italian will be added in 2023 (which month)? I have an exam and really would love to use Kwiziq to revise!
épargner is a correct translation for to save up but the bot changed it to économiser.
